Most of the list members are old enough (I think) to know the answer to the
"is history (or archaeology, or anthropology or .......n) biased" debate.
To those of you who are young enough to fall for such tripe, let me give you
my humble, middle-aged, "been there" opinon:  Anyone who tries to tell you
that history is unbiased is either a politician or someone who thinks you
are an intellectual push-over.  We have peer review for one reason: nothing
we do is unbiased.  We have created "discipline" via method and theory
because we recognize this.  If it goes through the human brain, it is
biased.  This doesn't mean that all truth is relative, but truth in human
affairs usually is.  Within the context of human affairs, Fact ALWAYS comes
wrapped up in intent.
